The SkyWest CPA duration is 12 years. I'm not sure that's the strategy, considering how far in the future those negotiations will take place.

Oh, I thought I heard people in the group saying the OO contract becomes amendable in a few years. I figured Skywest would be okay eating the costs now but would later put a gun to AAGs head and say "pay us more or we'll take our E175s to Delta" or something.

Regardless, it appears they are urgently trying to shove this crap down our throats.

Horizon's flying for Frontier out or Denver was a 12 year contract also. We all see how that worked out...

My bet is C series at QX if you guys are willing to take one for the team. Bombardier will be getting desperate and with the small 73's going away coupled with no scope............

We have a contract with jet rates in it. The Qx pilots have been taking it for the team over and over again for the last decade. Enough.

Alaska is spending $41 million ****ing dollars on a football stadium name. But they need us to take concessions. What a ****in joke.

Again, for anyone considering coming here. DONT DO IT. If you want to based in the PNW go to Skywest or Compass.

Their contract allows it. Sounds like it is a Alaska pilot contract problem. I don't want to see it happen, but if it does they can only blame themselves.

Dont worry about Alaska....We dont care who flys jets for us....we got 200 an hour for captains(fo's still make less than 2005 wages) and free Listerene samples for all.....we dont like the taste of scope
